This piece represents the miles and miles of concertina wire in Sing Sing. It became a repetitive motif for me. Artist Mike Kelley loved my razorwire pieces and he used my art in his retrospective at the Whitney Museum in 1994. My art is currently on display in Walls Turned Sideways: Artists Against the Justice System at Tufts University in Boston on exhibit not through April 16 2020
